A TAME WHALE
The PrecOciOus Monster Becoming
a FaYOrite.

An immense whale is t"knocking
about" in the water at Santa Monica. 1t
is quite tame and the inhabitants take
great pleasure in feeding it and watch
Ing its antics in. the water. It is SO
friendly that he will follow q boat at q
respectable distance and eat the food
thrown to him. He is especially fond
OF fruit. OF course there Is no way to
fill him up but he knows WHEN be has
enough and Whed satisfied takes a
plunge and disappears. Whales are shy
monsters and when It comes to enjoying
the company OF human beings, no such
fact was ever recorded before. Some
years ago s whale was Captured and
placed i'll an aquarium IN Paris, where
he became al object OF great interest.
Ii grew TO great SIZE and was not slow in
responding 20 the calls ofits keeper. The
constant stream OF visitors naturally
made it lose its shyness, and it often
seemed to enjoy the presence of sight
seerS. This whale was IL 1884 sold to 2
Snowman in London for the handsome
sum of S25 ,000. Great trouble was ex-
perienced in loading IN on the schooner
Misty WGg. 6us the trouble aid not end
there. While IN gale in the channel
the vessel was badly wrecked, and the
huge wooden tank, which stood OF the
upper deck, was smashed and the vslu-
able inmate escaped The sailors when
they saw the whale aourdering on the
deck were thunderstFuck and made for
the rigging.
1t is just possible that this most pre-
coclous whale ct Santa Monica is the
same oae that endured captivity at Paris
and mad its escape. He evidently be-
longs 10 the species known as the seb-
baldsus suifureus, as the body is large
and relatively slender. and is capable of
great speed. Just how long this marine
visitor will remain in these southern
waters is not known; he may disappear
as mysteriously and uneeremoniously
IS he appeared upon the scene The
Santa Monica people are enjoying him.

ing of the Northern Pacific directors,
on Thursday, proposition will be sub
mitted to them to build line OF rail-
road from A1nsworth to Portland, a
distance of 2l4 miles, paralleling the
Oregon Railway and Navigation. anu

two western termini; one at Portland,
for the Oregon trade, and the other st
Tacoma, for through business. The
Northern Pacific has the right to build
line through the Columbia River
Valley, and has land grant
of $4,000 acres per mile in
Washington Territory and 10000 per
mile in Oregon. This land grant in
cIudes over SOC, 900 acres. Its stated
that syndicate of Chicago capitalists
have offered to grade the roadbed,
build the masonry aud bridges and lay
the ties for the land grant. A motion
will be made at the directors meeting

authority to confer with the Chicago

will not interfere with the completion
of the Cascade division through to
Tacoma. The directors will probably
authorize the construction of four
small roads in Idaho and Montana,

that the first payment for the control OF

Beggared by Her devotion TO Cats
All mankind has heard OF the Count
ess de la Tore OF London, who is
crazy on the subject OF cats. She has
whole string OF cats following her
wherever she goes, and her house is
occupied by cats from garnet to cellar
1t has never yet been definitely settled
just how many cats the countess does
possess. She sometimes goes to visit
her friends, aud is Invariably accom-
panied by a feline coterie. Her for
tune has been exhausted in various
freaks of 0isordered fancy, and she is
now almost a beggar. She went last
week TO visit lady at Hammersmith
and, as she took q whole Tribe OF cats
with her, she became such an intolera :
bic nuisance that her hostess, after
many hints in vain to get her away IN
a fit of despair went to Police Justice
Paget. of the district, and made a
complaint. Her case was up Saturday,
and among the questions propounded
by the justice in his monotonous
inquiry was: How many cats had the
countess with her?N The complainant
did not know, but the inspector of
nuisances declared that he had come
along the day before and removed
twelve. Justice Paget said that he had
heard of the countess before. he
expressed great sympathy for the COM
plainant. but said that the only way for
her to get rid of her troublesome guest
and her cats, since they had come into
her house BIZ invitation, was to put
| them out by force, if they would not 90
by moral suasion. The lady returned
home and had the countess and the
remnant of her visiting contingent o.
cats elected.
